beau–brummell:

I just realised that all my historical faves were REAL?? Like…they existed?? And people knew them and could touch them and hear them speak and laugh and joke?? And chat with them??? Whoever and whatever they were, they were fundamentally a human being and they had their own quirks, traits, beliefs, fears and secrets that I will never ever know about. You can stare at a portrait for hours and hours and you will never truly be able to grasp just what they were like or how their face moved when they spoke or ANYTHING. You will never know. URGH, I’M SAD AND EMOTIONAL OVER DEAD PEOPLE AGAIN.
